Amsterdam leather bar closed after drugs find

One of Amsterdam’s most notorious gay bars, the Cockring, has been boarded up in the wake of last month’s drugs raid, the Parool reports on Tuesday.


The raid followed an investigation into drugs use at the leather bar. Five people, including the owner, were arrested during the raid and a quantity of pills, cocaine and GBL were found.
The closure was ordered by acting mayor Lodewijk Asscher.
